How do I explain to a person that the "red pill mentality" is stupid? - eviltoast

This is a genuine question, as every time I have an argument about this with someone they bring a point so utterly stupid that it leaves me stumped…

    You can’t reason someone out of a position that they didn’t reason themselves into.

    Fascists and other Frauds tell the Little Man that he is a loser; that he is being ripped off by the Bad People; that his whole class or gender or race are being taken advantage of by their inferiors. They play to the Little Man’s anxieties, making him feel littler and more stepped-upon.

    This is all a lead-in to telling the Little Man to sign up for the Big Lie.
